Great lesson movie!

I watched this great Pixar movie "Ratatouille" . This is a great example about somebody, well, a rat, has a lot of pride in something and can be very good at. This rat, named Remy, loves food and to cook. All the other rats don't really care about what they eat and how it taste so they just each garbage. But, there's Remy, loves the taste of great food and wants to be a cook. He accidently ended up in Paris and looks for a new career by secretly helping somebody(a human who suddenly believes this rat can cook good food) to cook like the way the rat does. Everybody loves his food and the rat ends up being a head chef in his own restaurant called "Ratatouille".
Anyways, the point is that this rat had a real talent and was good at it. If you love to do something and have so much pride in it, like metalworking, woodworking, sewing, motorcyles, fishing, a sport like basketball, cycling, golfing, or whatever, then you can spend more time on it and especially enjoy, then you have a talent. You can get better and better at it everyday, it gives you something to work on. That is why life is good, everyone can choose what they want to do, then do it spectacular, and be very talented. (Doing drugs is not a talent, so stay out of drugs). So, I thought this movie was a good lesson movie for kids AND adults all around. I loved this movie!


Beaver Mountain: Ski fun for Dan Barlow!

This is what Beaver Mountain looked like today(December 31, 2007). It snowed 18 inches of new snow the day before! I went up and I could ski fresh powder everywhere, first tracks! I had fun especially on the Lue's Run and Stan's Bozanza. There weren't any mogals but great powder to make new mogals all day! It was the one of my best ski trips I had for a long time, skied great, fresh 18 inches of new powder, wrecked only twice, great sunny day. Oh yeah, they didn't groom anything! Powder Heaven!


Ski the Beav!


Snowbird is next! Look at all the black diamonds! Some black diamond heaven!
Snowbird is the next ski trip, maybe next week or two weeks! Right before I get my arm restitched.
